The following is from the Philadelphia
Record paper the West I0giaia Dcmo-
crqt delights to quote;
Governor Wilson, of West Virginia, re-
fuses certificate To Senator-elect Charles
J. Faulkner on the ground that the election
of a Senator was not among the specified
objects of the Governor in calling an extra
session of the Legislature. But though not
specified, the election of United States
Senator was a duty the Legislature WAS
bound TO perform, whether in regular or
special session. There is reason to suspect
that the chief objection of the Governor
lies in the fact that the Legislature did not
elect the man of his choice"

Acssrs. Editors Of Free Press,
Charlcsto,0a, Vest Va.
GENTLEMEN: We want to thank you for pub
fishing a paper, through the columns of which,
we can reach many persons with information
of profit and value TO them, as well rs of I'M
portancc to ourselves We want to say to the
readers of your paper that we would as soon
stop bookkeeping as to stop keeping our name
and business constantly before their eyes.
THIRTY-FIvE YEARS EXPERIENCE
in bookkeeping and manufacturing success
fully increasing each and every year of that
period, has settled the question that the four
leading features with which we started out
and have steadily held fast to- are the main
points to which we owe our success. As we
have never kept them
SECRET
we tell them to your readers:
LIST. Keep the goods the people want.
2nd. Let the people know it.
3rd. Make the prices to please the people.
4th Give the people all the attention, ac-
commodation, conveniehces and comforts that
are known to modern storekeeping.
If We HAVEN'T
what the people want there can beno business
between us If we have what the people want,
at half the price they pay for 1t elsewhere, ana
the people don't know it, it is all the same,
there is no business between us. That's the
reason why we are constantly in the newspa-
pers making every effort.
To PUMP INTO
the readers of your paper the fact that we have
articles they want, and will sell them for as
little money, and nine times ont of ten, for
less money than they pay elsewhere, not ex-
cepting the big stores in the big cities, that we
aim to undersell.
EVERYTHING.
That word means something-big, that's it (;
applied to our business il means that we keep
everything males and females wear from birth
to death either in ready made garments, or
materials out of which to make them Except
ladies hats and bonnets.)
Our store-room is go feet long and Sc feet
wide 1t is chuck full of good. There are six
departments of articles for female wear and
six departments of articles for male wear, with
thousands of other necessary articles for the
parlor, sitting-room, dining-room and general
purposes.
